What drives the gap

Average visibility sits at 43.8/100 against readiness of 70.9/100. The weakest pillar in this category is citability at 62.9/100 — that is usually where the fastest gains are — while technical (80.9/100) is already carrying its weight. No business in this sample scored zero, but only 9 of 32 cleared 60/100.
